EDGECOMBE Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia; [email protected] Abstract Paralamyctes wellingtonensis n. sp. occurs further south in Chile than its sister species, P. chilensis (Gervais in Walckenaer & Gervais, 1847). The new species, from Isla Wellington and Magallanes, is identified by distinctive female gonopods. Key words: Chilopoda, Lithobiomorpha, Henicopidae, Paralamyctes, Paralamyctes wellingtonen- sis, Chile, taxonomy Introduction The henicopid chilopod Paralamyctes Pocock, 1901, is widely distributed on fragments of Gondwana. Species are known from southern Africa (Silvestri 1903; Attems 1928; Lawrence 1955; Edgecombe 2003a), Madagascar (Lawrence 1960), southern India (Sil- vestri 1917), eastern Australia (Edgecombe 2001, 2003b), New Zealand (Archey 1937), and Patagonia (Silvestri 1905; Edgecombe 2001). The only described South American species is P. chilensis (Gervais in Walckenaer & Gervais, 1847). The types and type local- ity of P. chilensis are unknown, but the species as understood by previous workers (Silves- tri 1905; Verhoeff 1939; Edgecombe 2001) is distributed in northern Patagonia. In Chile it ranges from Curicó in the north to near Quellón, Isla Chiloé, in the south (ca 35°-43°S). The eastern limit of its distribution is San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. Paralamyctes samples from Isla Wellington (ca 49°S) and Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Magallanes (ca 51°S), include a species that is similar to P. chilensis except for its more modified female gonopods. This material forms the basis for a new species, P. w el l- ingtonensis. Morphological terminology follows Edgecombe (2001).

    SOIL ORGANISMS Volume 81 (3) 2009 pp. 647–669 ISSN: 1864 - 6417 Literature-based survey on the Swiss fauna of Chilopoda Edi Stöckli Natural History Museum Basel, Augustinergasse 2, CH-4001 Basel, Switzerland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Swiss centipede fauna has never been fully reviewed. Even though the first records date from 1845, a checklist has not been drawn up until now. Literature research based on 88 publications and 2 online databases offers a preliminary list of 62 species and 1 subspecies. Type species from the Swiss area are specified. Additional potential species are named and might be added in the future to a complete checklist incorporating almost 90 species. Keywords: fauna, Chilopoda, literature, species list, Switzerland 1. Introduction Research into the Diplopoda and the Chilopoda in Switzerland demonstrates two totally different levels. For the Diplopoda there is an excellent work by Ariane Pedroli-Christen dating from 1993. It covers the fauna and ecology of 127 species and presents their global and Swiss distribution (for Switzerland in a 5 x 5 km grid!). Unfortunately, she abandoned her scientific work some years ago and has no successor in Switzerland working with this group at such a level. In contrast, the Swiss centipedes have not had such an intensive level of study. Up to the end of 2008 a published checklist was not available, not even a preliminary one. This may seem surprising, as most of the surrounding countries or areas already possess such lists. As examples may be named Austria (Würmli 1972b: 71 species), France (Geoffroy & Iorio 2009: 145 species) or Italy (Checklist of the species of the Italian fauna 2003: 155 species).

  • The Molecularization of Centipede Systematics
    Title The molecularization of centipede systematics Authors Edgecombe, GD; Giribet, G Date Submitted 2019-01 The molecularization of centipede systematics Gregory D. Edgecombe1 and Gonzalo Giribet2 1 The Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom 2 Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Abstract The injection of molecular data over the past 20 years has impacted on all facets of centipede systematics. Multi-locus and transcriptomic datasets are the source of a novel hypothesis for how the five living orders of centipedes interrelate but force homoplasy in some widely-accepted phenotypic and behavioural characters. Molecular dating is increasingly used to test biogeographic hypotheses, including examples of ancient vicariance. The longstanding challenge of morphological delimitation of centipede species is complemented by integrative taxonomy using molecular tools, including DNA barcoding and coalescent approaches to quantitative species delimitation. Molecular phylogenetics has revealed numerous instances of cryptic species. “Reduced genomic approaches” have the potential to incorporate historic collections, including type specimens, into centipede molecular systematics. Introduction Centipedes – the myriapod Class Chilopoda – are an ancient group of soil pred- ators, with a >420 million year fossil history and about 3150 described extant species (Minelli, 2011). They are of interest to students of arthropods more broadly for conserved elements of their relatively compact genome (Chipman et al., 2014), for their insights into the position of myriapods in Arthropoda (Rehm et al., 2014), and for the data available on their mechanisms of segment proliferation (e.g., Brena, 2014), in light of the systematic variability in their numbers of trunk segments and modes of postembryonic development (Minelli et al., 2000).

ZooKeys 821: 1–10. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.821.32250 Abstract The centipedeLithobius proximus Sseliwanoff, 1878 is presented for the first time as a new member of the Polish fauna. This species, originally characterized as a widespread Siberian boreal species, seems to possess high plasticity with regards to environmental requirements. Its actual distribution range covers several geographical zones where local conditions have allowed it to survive. The present research in the Wigry National Park, northeast Poland, shows that its distribution extends to the ends of the East European Plain embracing the East Suwałki Lake District, where it occurs almost exclusively in the oak-hornbeam forests: in summer it is one of the three dominant lithobiomorph centipedes inhabiting litter layers.

EASON Bourton Far Hill, Moretón-on-Marsh, Gloucestershire GL56 9TN UK. Abstract: The families, subfamilies and many genera of the Lithobiomorpha are defined and their distri- bution is described. Suggestions are made as to the possible faunistic connexions at subfamilial and generic levels indicated by the distribution of these taxa. An attempt is made to explain the distribution of the principal genera in terms of their evolution. 1. Introduction: ' I will pass over the early attempts to classify Lithobius (s.l.), notably those of STUXBERG ( 1875) and GARBOWSKI (1897), because they have been adequately summarized by ANDERS- SON (1979) who reviewed the whole subject of classification. The only aspect about which there is no dispute is the division of the order Lithobiomorpha into two principal taxa, one based on Litho- bius LEACH in which the forcipular pleurites do not meet each other ventrally and the male gono- pods are stout and usually short, and the other based on Henicops NEWPORT in which the forc- ipular pleurites form a ventral collar and the male gonopods are flagelliforrn.

ZooKeys 785: 11–28.https:// doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.785.28580 Abstract Lithobius (Ezembius) longibasitarsus sp. n. and Lithobius (Ezembius) datongensis sp. n. (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), recently discovered from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, are described. A key to the species of the subgenus Ezembius in China is presented. The partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcoding gene was amplified and sequenced for eight individuals of the two new species and the dataset was used for molecular phylogenetic analysis and genetic distance determination.
